Rolls-royce Silver Spirit 1982, Movie Star!! Gorgeous!, Burgundy Red. on 2040-cars
Summerville, South Carolina, United States
|
MOVIE STAR!!! Gorgeous! Starred in Iron Man III. Have all relevant documentation and correspondence with Iron Works Production 3, LLC and production company's Picture Car Coordinator John Armstrong. The exterior is visually stunning! And its original! Have color copy of original check from Iron Works Productions 3, LLC, No. 004043, drawn on Citibank N.A. 787 west 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071. Was used as the "The Masters" limo. Probably the nicest preserved most beautiful 1982 Silver Spur in the Southeastern United States. Also have all the original owners documents, manuals, and maintenance records all lovingly preserved in a beautiful official Rolls-Royce leather bound book. Even today I have learned more information regarding the car, and I know there are people out there who are insatiably curious. I also happen to personally think the car is worth WAY more than $50,000.00, regarding both its Movie Star past, its ridiculously low miles, and its ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL condition. The paint, chrome, and interior have never been restored, or redone, its all original!There are reasons for that as I learned just this morning July 9th. On the other hand I am not a car mechanic or expert, BUT I am definitely a serious enthusiast with a background in exotics and an official of the SCCA (Pit Steward) all the way back to 1973. I worked for the US Navy for 32 years as a technical expert. Eleven years was active duty and twenty one of those years was as civilian technical expert. Ten of those years I spent as a civilian was as a US Navy technical expert to the Egyptian Navy. I can fix anything! I had a terrible heart attack while serving in Egypt, I now live in a nursing home, and discovered the car sitting in a used car lot, while passing in the nursing home bus. I stopped the bus and talked to the owner of the car lot and asked about the Rolls, he said it was his personal car but had not run in years, something on it was broken. He didn't know what, he also mentioned that it had been in the movie Iron Man III, and produced the paperwork you see here. The car lot owners two mechanics were too chicken to tackle the Rolls even as it sat there years. I asked the owner foolishly if I could try to fix it for him for free. He took me up on the offer and I finally got the car working, a bad fuel pump at the rear of the car, plus a bad starter relay. It also needed about three and a half quarts of transmission fluid. It runs like a swiss watch, rides wonderfully, I must admit I have never been so impressed with a car before. I started the car once and got distracted and when my attention returned I thought, --nuts it didn't start, ---- but it was running, at idle! It was so silent and vibrationless that I thought it hadn't started. WOW! By the way I get nothing not even a commision for the sale of this vehichle, just the joy of fixing it and doing an old man a good deed. I have congestive heart failure and an implanted defibrillator, if my cardiologist knew I was working on this car he would have a fit. I worked under the car for a week up on jackstands and hydraulic floor jacks, ouch. The car was bought new in 1982 by a little old lady from New York state who lived in West Palm Beach, Florida. As it turns out a very rich little old lady. She died sometime in the 1980's and her estate went into probate, which lasted for 14 years! For that entire 14 years the Rolls Royce sat in the back of her garage undiscovered. Once probate was closed, the new owners of the property decided to bulldoze the existing house and garage. Fortunately, someone checked the garage before the bulldozers reduced the garage to rubble. The new owners of the property contacted the probate lawyer in NY City who had handled the estate and they delegated a partner in Charleston, SC to handle it. One of the men in the Charleston, SC law office decided to buy it from the estate, and he owned it for three months. He then auctioned it here in Charleston to the current owner, so there has been three owners! It has never been in an accident or even a fender bender, as I said ALL the paint and chrome are ORIGINAL. Basically, the current owner hung on to it for the fun of it and could never find a buyer in the Summerville/Charelston area, although he did try. At one point one of the owners employees put the car on E-Bay two or three years ago, asking at that time a ridiculous price for it. Iron Works Productions at that time was filming Iron Man III in North Carolina, and needed a suitable car for the villian to drive, "The Master". Iron Works Productions contacted the current owner, I am not sure how, because the current owner, basically can't use a computer. In the end Iron Works Productions rented the car for a few days in North Carolina for the movie. Shortly, after its movie appearrance the owner was giving an employee a ride in it and ran out of gas. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the rear mounted fuel injection pump would continue to run with a dry fuel tank if the ignition key was left in run. After, finally realizing they needed to put gas in the car the fuel pump had already been destroyed. They had it towed back to the lot and it sat there for years until I came along. The car is completely original, and definitely actually worth way more $50,000.00 dollars! Its interesting early history, movie history, and its originality make it one of a kind. Someone please be serious and we will come to an arrangement on sale of the car. With of course every penny going to the owner, he has way too many friends lately that really weren't. And for the insatiably curious, yup, thats the motor home I cleaned the rats out of in February, 2014. I realize that there are alot of fluff pictures here and I will remove and add more of the car, but the insatiably curious have I hope been satisfied. If more satisfaction is required I have contacted my hospital and found that they can provide my medical records in 5 days regarding the time I was admitted to the hospital while working on this car. Further, I have a considerable library of pictures from my ten years in Egypt which I could provide if requested. I also included pictures of the nursing home bus and the driver I discovered the car with out front of my nursing home. Yes that is also the nursing home bus in the parking lot of the car lot where I found the car. I included pictures of my pacemaker/defibrillator and pictures of the seventeen pills a day I take to control my congestive heart failure. There are also pictures of my back and elbows from crawling in the gravel underneath the car to fix it, but I left those out. Also pictures of where I worked on it, thats a a book all by itself. I'd love to take the silly stuff off and give you more pictures of the car, -- just ask. As you might guess the nursing home staff/management has taken a dim view of my activities and admonished me not to undertake these types of projects in the future bacause of its adverse effect on my physical health. On the other hand, the nursing home staff/management were amazed at the degree of detail required to be taken seriously here at E-Bay. I will attempt today the 10th of July to find out the name of the little old lady in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was raised a southwestern Minnesota farmboy, a slight exaggerration, as my father was a physician at the Mayo Clinic, but we did live WAY out in the country. Rochester, Minnesota is also home to one of the largest Amish communities in the United States, and I must admit although not Amish I have adopted much of their worldview. That we are placed here to help and love one another, this often gets me into trouble due to naivete. So I am not the greatest salesman, but I am terribly sincere. Remember, life should always be fun, but its not always a game. |

Rolls-Royce SUV depends on fortunes of BMW X7
Sun, 02 Jun 2013The on-again, off-again discussion regarding the rumored Rolls-Royce SUV seems to be back in the "maybe" camp now. In February, we heard that Rolls-Royce was considering adding an SUV, but then in April, another report said that these rumors had been shot down. Automobile is now saying that this ultra-luxury SUV could be determined by the success of the equally uncertain BMW X7 (on which the R-R SUV would be based), which we've heard little on since 2011.
Although the article is based solely on speculation, there are some interesting details about such a potential Rolls-Royce, including a plug-in hybrid drivetrain using a twin-turbo V8 (not a V12) and a chassis and body built in South Carolina with final assembly taking place in Goodwood - where all Rolls-Royce cars are built. We could also assume that a green light for a Rolls-Royce SUV would be based on the success of rival SUVs like the Bentley Falcon and Maserati Levante.
Rolls-Royce hosts first ‘Cars and Cognac’ event in the U.K.
Tue, Jun 12 2018For more than 100 years, Rolls-Royce has produced some of the world's most desirable and expensive automobiles. The British automaker has now gone one step further, by instantly making any future "cars and coffee" gatherings pale in comparison to the brand's first-ever "Cars and Cognac" event, held June 8, in the U.K. Yes, we're guessing our invitation got lost in the mail, too. "The 'cars and cognac' meet demonstrated the wonderful spirit of our customers as well as their deep passion for the brand," said Julian Jenkins, regional director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. "This evening was reflective of the rich dialogue between Rolls-Royce and its patrons; a truly unique and extremely rare relationship, one which we are privileged to nurture." We couldn't help but notice the comment about "rich dialogue," which is fitting for a brand whose least expensive offering, the Ghost sedan, starts at roughly $300,000. The evening borrowed heavily from California car culture, where cars and coffee meet-ups can see anything from slammed economy cars, customized muscle cars, or hyper-cars with multimillion-dollar prices gather at the same place. Of course, very few — i.e. none whatsoever — have featured cognac tastings conducted out of a customized Rolls-Royce-endorsed picnic basket. That's correct, a sommelier stationed at the tail-end of a Phantom sedan was handing out quaffs of fine cognac courtesy of an official Rolls-Royce Picnic Hamper. This is a thing, and you know you want one. Other cars making a cameo appearance during dinner included a Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge fitted with the new "Aero Cowling." This hard tonneau cover fits snugly over the rear seats, to give the 593-horsepower convertible the look of a true two-seater. The event was held at the Soho Farmhouse, a member's only club located on a 100-acre property in Oxfordshire, approximately two hour's drive northwest from central London. On its homepage, Soho Farmhouse details its indoor and outdoor pools, multiple club rooms for special events, tennis courts, horse stables, football pitch (that's soccer for you silly Americans), and the intriguingly named Electric Barn Cinema. The entry-level membership, called Local House, with access only to the Soho Farmhouse facility, starts at about $1,700 at current exchange rates. To have access to all Soho House properties around the globe, the price runs around $2,200 (depending on whether your membership application is accepted).
Rolls-Royce Cullinan and BMW 8 Series spied south of Death Valley
Wed, Aug 30 2017Recently, we've stumbled upon a number of manufacturer prototypes running around. Usually, spy photographers sit and wait for hours with cameras primed in order to get a few shots of a car. We just got lucky. First, we caught the new Chevy Corvette ZR1 convertible during a Facebook Live video. A week or so later McGraw snapped a video of a ZR1 coupe cruising in his neck of the woods. Today, our ace photographer Drew Phillips caught a BMW test fleet filling up the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan and 8 Series coupe in Baker, Calif. Baker sits along Interstate 15, about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It's just south of Death Valley, and, being late August, suggests that BMW was doing some hot weather testing. Drew was filling up his car when the fleet rolled in. There were at least two of the new king Rolls and a single 8 Series. Both cars were wearing a full swirl camouflage wrap. It's not an uncommon place to see prototypes. Still, seeing a whole fleet roll in is quite a sight. We've seen official photos of the Cullinan before, but these pictures give us our best view of the profile and rear we've had so far. From a distance, it looks like a high-riding version of the new Phantom with a hatch in place of the trunk. The taillights are obviously just filler units. Expect the final version to look very much like the squared off LED units on the Phantom. Likewise the interior and engine should be straight from the Phantom. That means a twin-turbocharged V12, though power is likely to be sent to all four wheels. We've seen the full BMW 8 Series concept a few times now. The proportions on the production car look the same, with a long hood and even longer wheelbase. The nose isn't quite as aggressive as the concept, but we expected the styling to be toned down to meet crash and safety standards. As for engines, look for six, eight and (hopefully) 12-cylinder power under the hood. A plug-in variant is also expected. Both cars have been in development for a long while, so look for full debuts sometime this auto show season. Maybe we'll happen upon some more test mules between now and then. Related Video:
